Master cylinders and shocks

Clutch cylinder back from Pastparts
Brake master cylinder done at the same time



KONI shock absorbers restored re-valved and re-bushed



No more rusty holes

 

Bulkhead welding completed and the joins lead loaded


The new plenum chamber where there was none! (See previous post for the before pictures)
Made from the rear quarters of a minivan and lots of shrinking and stretching. Best tool I’ve ever bought.

Channel from the heater air intake on the left of the plenum had also rotted away, now new shiny steel.

Tack welded into place ready for seam welding



Plenum under construction


Minivan rear quarter almost the same shape!


All that was left of the original plenum chamber. Must keep that drain hole clear!
